The word “history” usually makes us think about the distant past - events of someone or something not connected to our daily lives.
There is nothing like a global health crisis, however, to realize we are making and living history RIGHT NOW.
Ultimately, this health crisis will not be remembered as merely a collection of facts and figures.
The real history is the story of how each and every one of us is experiencing it in our day-to-day lives.
Des Plaines Memory collects and preserves the shared experience of the Des Plaines community for the benefit of the current and future generations to come.
We invite you to help us document the impact of the coronoavirus pandemic on your life by sharing your photographs and writings.
Please send us anything you are willing to share!
